CHS – Navy Collaboration

•Collaborate with Defence Research and Development Canada onboard CFAV Quest

•374 Sq Km sounded

•Quest single beam; OLEX logging software; calibration monitor R2Sonic pole-mounted MB

•Depths (MB vs OLEX) agreed on average within a standard deviation of 1.2m or 1% of the average depth

•OLEX track surveys can achieve CATZOC C reconnaissance with potential improvement for charting
